[Jon Nakapalau · Rating 5 out of 5]

These wonderful tales are very much in the same vein as Aesop's Fables - every book I read in this series is a wonderful discovery. When I go to the library book sale there is always a stack of these comics there; always look forward to getting more of these books and reading them. Then I pass them on to my friends children - such a great bargain!
